Chapter 784: The Queen
ruvvvvv At this moment, the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family was lying on the bed naked with her belly bulging, and she let out a heart-rending cry of pain from her mouth. White, cloudy liquid flowed everywhere. Bright red blood flowed from her lower body, and her exposed skin was covered with bruised-purple ecchymosis.
Looming, I could see a faint figure in the belly of the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family. This is, the ghost is attached to the fetus in the womb of the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family?
"Ghost fetus." Grandma lowered her voice and told me. The look in his eyes signaled me not to scream.
I covered my mouth tightly to prevent myself from screaming again, and my eyes were wide open to see my grandmother's next move.
Men and children are not allowed to watch the mother-in-law in the village give birth, but I have also climbed the window of someone's house with my friends to secretly see, like the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family, whose exposed skin is full of bruises and purple ecchymosis, I have seen it for the first time.
Grandma's ghost fetus shocked me even more, does this mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family want to give birth to a ghost?
Grandma and I just walked in the door. The mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family began to convulse all over her body, and the bruises and bruises on his body were even more obvious.
The situation of Tiezhu's mother-in-law made Tiezhu's face change greatly. Drops of sweat the size of beans slid down his pale face. The midwife was also nervous and no longer verbose, rubbing her hands and not knowing what to do.
Grandma quickly took out the silver needle from her baggage. He stabbed into several acupuncture points on the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family. While stabbing, my grandmother told me the names of those acupuncture points, which are the four major acupuncture points of Qi Hai, Blood Sea, Jimen and Yin Valley.
Two more red and white charms were found from the baggage, and the grandmother pasted the red charm on the head of the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family, and the white charm on the stomach of the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family.
The charm was pasted, and the belly of the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family began to churn, and you could see that the belly of the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family was bulging one by one, as if the fetus was going to break through the belly of the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family and burst out.
Because of this spell, the blue and purple ecchymosis on her body began to fade gradually.
This situation surprised Tie Zhu and the midwife.
"Iron pillar, the child can't stay." Grandma's face was not the slightest relaxed, and she raised her head and said this to the iron pillar.
Tie Zhu listened to his grandmother's words, and the surprise in his eyes turned to ashes, and he hesitated and nodded hesitantly. Twisting around the iron pillar, he left the room, squatting outside and crying.
Grandma sighed, took out a piece of red cloth from her baggage and spread it on the lower body of the Tiezhu mother-in-law, and set a copper bell on the bed where the iron-pillar mother-in-law was, put a copper coin on the mouth of the iron-pillar mother-in-law and let her bite it, and explained that my baby was immediately wrapped in a red cloth when she landed.
At my grandmother's command, I looked at the red cloth, and the copper coins embellished on the red cloth were impressively arranged to form the death door formation that had only been used today.
My palms began to sweat, and I stood on the edge of the red cloth, nervously waiting for the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family to give birth to a ghost fetus.
Grandma's hands began to stamp, dotting on the belly of the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family. didn't click it, and the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family was churning in her stomach.
When my grandmother stopped, I could see a black head coming out of the lower body of the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family.
The midwife hurried forward at this time and began to deliver the baby according to the usual delivery method for the iron pillar mother-in-law.
The midwife seemed to realize something at this time, and she had been trembling to deliver the baby for the iron pillar mother-in-law.
I took a look at this midwife, and thought to myself, if I told this midwife bluntly that the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family was going to give birth to a ghost fetus, wouldn't I just faint to death?
At last the fetus was born, and it looked like a normal baby, except that the baby opened its mouth with a giggling, shrill laughter, which was the opposite of the croaking and crying of an ordinary baby.
The strange baby giggled and frightened the midwife and threw the scissors and ran out of the room, while I immediately wrapped the baby in a red cloth. Of course, my hands trembled uncontrollably.
The corners of the red cloth were tied tightly, and the baby who had just made a sound was immediately silent. But I can still see a faint figure in this red cloth bag, and it has not disappeared.
Grandma saw that I had tied the red cloth tightly, took out a few more hemp ropes from the baggage, and wrapped the red cloth wrapped around the ghost baby a few times.
Grandma was carrying a red cloth bag wrapped in a ghost baby and asked me to put away the copper bells.
When I went to get the copper coin in the mouth of the dead Iron Pillar Mother-in-law, my grandmother stopped me: "Keep it, the birth of the ghost baby is grandma's mistake, and this copper coin can be regarded as making up for it." "
At this time, Tie Zhu and the shivering midwife also entered the room, just in time to hear the grandmother's words.
I haven't reacted to what grandma meant when she said that the birth of the ghost baby was her mistake, but she was in front of her with an arrow, lest the iron pillar and the midwife be unfavorable to grandma.
Who knows, the iron pillar knelt in front of grandma with a thud, and kowtowed to grandma three times on the ground.
Grandma pulled the iron pillar up from the ground, didn't say much, just let the iron pillar make up for his mother-in-law's body, and the copper coin found a red rope to tie around his mother-in-law's neck, and took me home.
When I got home, my grandmother left the red cloth bag wrapped in the ghost baby at the door of our courtyard and let me go to bed while she prepared breakfast.
At this time, it was almost dawn, and I had a question in my heart and wanted to ask my grandmother if she didn't feel the slightest sleepiness, so I went to help my grandmother light the fire.
"What does Xiao Ran want to know?" Seeing that I came with me to help light the fire, my grandmother asked me while choosing vegetables.
"Grandma, you said the ghost baby was born because of your mistake? And why didn't you dispose of this ghost baby and bring it back? Why didn't Tiezhu get angry but kowtowed to his grandmother? "Asking the question in my heart, I looked at my grandmother and waited for her to answer.
"Xiao Ran really has a lot of problems." My barrage of questions made my grandmother laugh. "The ghost baby was born because grandma let a ghost wait for an opportunity to escape when she was trying to get rid of the ghost of the golden urn, isn't it grandma's mistake? Ghost babies can belong to the ranks of ghosts, and they are not so easy to kill, so they need to be done again in the morning to make their souls fly. Tie Zhu did not get angry but kowtowed to his grandmother, because he knew that every one of his grandmother's objects was hard to find. "
"Grandma, how many years have you lived in this small mountain village in Purple Mountain?" Grandma's answer made me think about this question again.
"Eight years." My question made my grandmother pause in her hand.
Eight years is exactly my age, which means that my grandmother came to this small mountain village in the purple mountains after I was taken out of my mother's womb.
Where was that grandma before? Where did it come from? Is it because of me that my grandmother has been living in this remote Purple Mountain Village? Otherwise, according to grandma's ability, how can a remote small mountain village in Zishan keep grandma? What did my grandmother give up for me?
I wanted to ask my grandmother a lot of questions, but I didn't open my mouth, and I just burned the fire silently.
"Xiao Ran, don't think nonsense, although this small mountain village in Purple Mountain is remote, it is just right for grandma to care for the elderly." Seeing that I was silent, my grandmother shook her head.
"Grandma, I will be filial to you." Adding another handful of firewood to the fire, I squatted in front of my grandmother and chose vegetables with my grandmother.
My nose was a little sore, and I kept my head down to prevent my grandmother from seeing me and seeing that I was about to cry.
"Okay, good." My well-behaved performance made my grandmother laugh out loud.
In the morning, my grandmother took me to the place where the formation was set up yesterday, and the formation was still there, and no one moved for half a minute.
Grandma put the red cloth bag tied to the ghost baby in the death door of the formation, and then blocked the birth door.
Telling me to gather some firewood and pile it around the red cloth bag, and then pour the kerosene she had brought from home, my grandmother threw a charm into the firewood pile, and the firewood instantly burst into flames.
A baby's cry came from the red cloth bag, and I got goosebumps all over my body.
This ghost baby is really dead but not stiff as grandma said. It looked like it had been out of breath for a long time, but it was still possible to make such a sound at this moment.
The baby's miserable cry attracted many villagers from the same village, and when they saw that it was the grandmother who was casting a spell, they all stood quietly to the side and watched, and no one talked about it.
I don't know what my grandmother did in this small village of Purple Mountain before I remember what the villagers of Purple Mountain Village are so in awe of my grandmother, but it is an honor.
The wood burned out, and the faint figure finally dissipated as the baby's body was burned.
Without waiting for grandma's instructions, I took the initiative to run up and pack up grandma's dicks and take grandma's hand home.
The days began to live peacefully, and soon, the small mountain village of Zishan returned to its former appearance, as if the matter of the night cry of the hundred babies and the fact that the mother-in-law of the Tiezhu family gave birth to a ghost baby never happened at all.
On this day, just after lunch, Luo Guotou came to my house to hang out with me.
After explaining to my grandmother, I went out with Luo Guotou, and I didn't go far before I saw Luo Guotou looking mysterious.
"Xiao Ran, what do you think I saw today?" Lowering his voice to speak, Luo Guotou didn't forget to look around.
"What? You're not going to peek at who's taking a bath and getting caught, are you? Looking at Luo Guotou's appearance, I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
Luo Guotou is two years older than me, bold and bold but short-tempered, and he can't play with his friends in the village, but he plays with me very well.
Don't look at me as two years younger than Luo Guotou, but as long as I play with Luo Guotou, Luo Guotou is obedient to me, and he shares all his secrets with me. Private Zhuang Hongcai.
This may be what people say about one thing and one thing, Luo Guotou, who is tall and big, is always disliked by me, but he has always been a good partner.
"No, I'm just going to peek once and I'm with you. I'm talking about being outside the mountain today, and I saw a few people with a lot of corpses, and the corpses still had yellow charms on their foreheads. Hurriedly waving his hand to clarify his innocence, Luo Guotou mentioned that the eyes he saw today were full of excitement.
"Really?" After listening to Luo Guotou's words, I suddenly became interested.
In the past few days, I just heard my grandmother mention the corpse gate to me, and what my grandmother said is very similar to what Luo Guotou saw.
"Of course it's true, I'll show you this." Seeing that I was also interested, Luo Guotou pulled me and walked in the direction of our small village of Purple Mountain leading to the outside.
The place Luo Guotou said was an abandoned temple next to the Purple Mountain.
Luo Guotou and I tiptoed close to the temple and looked through the crack in the window. I saw that there were four people dressed as Taoist priests sleeping, and beside them stood twenty or thirty corpses with pale faces and yellow talismans on their foreheads.
Seeing such a strange situation, I was a little worried. Holding Luo Guotou's hand, I was about to go back, but I heard a sudden rattling sound behind me, and I was so frightened that I directly softened my legs and looked back in fear.
